Zomba Forest Lodge is a haven of peace and quiet, nestled half-way Zomba Mountain within 20 acres of mixed woodland. A real treat for those seeking some peace and tranquility, some good food and an opportunity to switch off and unwind.

The lodge is more than just a lodge, it is a home away from home and guests are treated that way.

Zomba Forest Lodge has four rooms; three doubles (including one that can be made into a twin) and one twin, all en-suite, a stunning dining area with a great big fire place for cosy fires in winter and some of Tom’s artwork on the walls.

The property is off grid but this in no way affects the quality of the stay.

Zomba Forest Lodge sits just inside the forest reserve and there plenty of well maintained trails meandering around it so for those who don’t fancy a big hike on the mountain. Interms of activities, there are plenty of hiking trails around the plateau including to the “bottomless Chingwe’s Hole, to Mulunguzi Dam, William’s Falls, Ku Chawe for a spot of tea and many other. Horseriding can be arranged at the Plateau Stables as an alternative way of visiting the plateau. For those wanting to take it at a more leisurely pace, you can simply meander around the clolourful lodge gardens, there are plenty of trails you can choose from. Zomba town is also well worth a visit and being the old colonial capital of Malawi, it is home to some of the country’s oldest buildings. The city’s laid back atmsphere makes it perfect for those wanting to wonder around and there is plenty to see. Visit the botanical gardens, visit the colourful market and the War Memorial Tower to name but a few.
